A Shibir leader, who was arrested in connection with the murder of Rajshahi University teacher Prof Rezaul Karim Siddiquee, dies at RMCH today, 2 days after he was taken there from jail.

Four operatives of the banned militant outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) took part in the killing of Rajshahi University teacher Prof AFM Rezaul Karim Siddiquee, police claimed.

Investigation into Professor Rezaul Karim Siddiquee killing case is now at the final stage and the killers could be arrested anytime, says Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.

Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Haque today said Kalabagan’s double murder was “planned extensively and the victims were being followed” for days.

Rajshahi University teachers are getting murdered one after another because the real perpetrators are not being tried, according to victim families and colleagues of the slain teachers.

Teachers and students of Rajshahi University have been continuing to boycott classes for the second consecutive day demanding punishment of the killers of Prof AFM Rezaul Karim Siddiquee.
